Occupied Equestria: Day 4

Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.

In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

She does not comply with his request. What she does offer instead is this admission:

"Alright, I may have winged a few alchemical jars. Who knows what they contain, but they may be worth a few bits on some market. I did not take any 'soul' jars. What value would I have with with some random dead pony's soul? And it's not like you all aren't looting as well. I see that rifle on you looks exactly like a military model, and both you and Ash are taking the soul jars. I admit I'm still befundled as to what you want to do with those"

Silver remembers the jars of alchemical substances in one of the rooms. Hearing this puts his mind at ease. "If that was case, you could have just told us." Still, Silver casually trots towards the room that still had soul jars in it to check. "It is not like we would have looked down on you for it."
